Thank you for participating in this discussion @electricswine! I completely agree with this point and it is the essence of my gripe:

I mean if he’s hedging his bet as to which platform will come out on top, then so be it. But not as a witness. Not cool. Any suggestions for us noobs? Besides not voting for him.

You get it exactly... I think being a "passive" investor in both platforms is fine. But when it comes to voting witnesses, I prefer that the guys running my place only work for my place. Its common sense really. I don't know why its even an issue.

Again, thanks for the insight and to answer your question, only voting for witnesses at this point. Choose the ones that you know are fitting your needs and unchoose those that don't.

We may have other things to do later, but mainly I would just say "pay attention"... That is how we learn and maybe one day we can collectively make a difference!
